NEW RIFLE (.177 AIRWOLF MCT)
Westy replied to wedge2409's topic in Rifle Reviews, Technical Help and Tips
That rifle stock is lovely - what a nice example of an excellent piece of kit. As has been said - extremely accurate. Good luck with it. Cheers Westy -
Hi As stated above - how old is he, and whats his build ? The 95 is a decent springer, if hes well built then perhaps other springers would be better as the 95 is a lightweight rifle, although still full powered. Has he shot before ? What about a PCP, is there any chance of a second hand PCP setup for example as they are much easier to shoot - no recoil - so he will see better results quicker. Cheers Westy

As has been said - I would zero for 100 yards - then its just point and shoot really from 70 yards to 125 yards - very little difference. As for range - I have taken 175 yard corvoids without a problem, but as has been said, if the winds up you will need to have put in some practise. HTH Westy

I would just put in for it - South Yorkshire Police are not know to be lenient on Fire Arms applications, but when the FEO came round to see me, he never batted an eye lid at my request to buy 1000 and hold 1200 on either .22rf or .17hmr. If its that hard to get hold of ammo, I would have thought that a request of 2000 to hold would be very reasonable. As has been said, just try, you have nothing to loose. Cheers Westy

I lost my 10 shot mag for my .22 CZ Brno last week,like wise i could do with some help finding a good price for a new one If you are still after a 10 shot .22cz mag, let me know - I have 1 surplus to requirements. Cheers Westy

I bought one earlier this year - I think it cost me £30 off ebay - didnt last too long in its original form, but once fettled - longer tougher chassis and the main spring retainer beefed up a little - its still throwing clays - and it can do 2 at a time as well. HTH Westy

Im with BASC - not had a problem with them although I know others who have. Cheers Westy

You could try Rimfire Magic - I got one the other day - £29.00 if I remember right. Cheers Westy

Mods sort a FAC related topic in "Important topics"
Westy replied to young1982's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
Im not trying to be funny here and in no way want to start an argument, but just try typing FAC in the search box and see what you get ? I am a recent FAC holder, and know the frustrations and anxieties that applicants can be feeling. Cheers Westy -
Thanks for the advice - I have managed to get sorted now. Cheers Westy

Afternoon All I need some help from you guys please. Don't ask how, but today I lost the only mag I have for my new (to me) Cz .17hmr. I have a shoot organised for an old friend on Friday, but without a mag the hmr is practically useless (in the dark it will be impossible to load). Now, the problem - the stupid shifts I am on at work prevent me getting ANYWHERE in normal hours so I can't get to anywhere to buy a mag. Can anyone please recommend me a reliable mail order place (internet based if possible) where I can order one from and have it delivered this week - before Fri

I know you said not CO2 - but you cant beat a Crossman Ratcatcher - thats why they are called Ratcatchers - made for the job - immensley pointable - and has the power to deal with rats up to about 25 yard - but most ratting is done betwen 10-20 yards anyway. We use them in a team in the dairy sheds - regularly get hauls of over 40 a night. If you do get one, just stick a torch on top or a laser - helps in targeting - cos you gotta be quick !! HTH Westy

Unfortunately, having spoken in depth to the guy I bought my .22lr from, it loves Remmy and dont get on so well will Eleys so I am stuck with the Remmy option.
